pa gen internet

i think that's how you say we had no internet in creole.  That was what happened yesterday and why I didn't update.  This week has been a blur sort of, so I am trying to remember things as best I can.  yesterday, our medical guy, Kurt, gave the kids some basic medical training which they really enjoyed.  We had worship after that and then Alicia showed the kids the dance she made up (which they loved!).  You would think in a normal camp day you would have worship first, but we have to plan our worship times around when we have electricity.  That's not always easy because it doesn't seem to always have the same schedule.  Group dicussions followed.  Then we had these big air filled bumper things that we put on and had relay races.  After that it was just a normal day of soccer and crafts and playing around followed by an amazing time of worship at night.  After the "official" time of worship was finished we played worship from a CD and most people danced around and worshipped.  Oh yeah and we got to see what's for lunch today, goat.  They bought them on the street.  The goat slaughter also woke me up this morning.
 
Today we had a time of worship, but in Creole.  This normally makes me cry, I was on the verge of crying... it's just so beautiful.  It was only drums and singing.  No guitars!  Tonight we are having a talent show.  Tomorrow we head to the beach and then we are almost done.  I don't know about everyone else, but I certainly don't want to come back to America :)

 

This whole electricity thing is limiting the amount of time I can read/respond to e-mails, sorry.
